So many of these "protestors" in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved from a year ago by President Trump. This city didn't even have RUNNING WATER a year ago. Trump's DOT gave the LARGEST FEDERAL GRANT IN HISTORY to fix roads in bridges in Western North Carolina. Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open cases from the Biden administration within WEEKS OF HIM TAKING OFFICE. Trump's DOT fixed the I-40 highway in what most people thought would take YEARS in a few MONTHS and doing it cheaper than anyone thought possible. Trump’s HUD approved $1.4B for Helene housing recovery... AND DID SO IN RECORD TIME so rebuilding could start. Trump’s USDA delivered $221,000,000 in a disaster block grant to WNC farmers hit by Helene too. JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!! It's not that hard. A dictator, a tyrant, someone who you say hates you wouldn't have done ALL OF THAT for you and those you love. The same folks who are driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, and living the comeback... ...are protesting the man who made A LOT of that happen You look stupid, out of touch, and willfully ungrateful."

The inconvenient truth about the No Kings protests that swept the nation - "An inconvenient truth has emerged about the anti-Trump No Kings protests that swept the nation over the weekend - they were mainly attended by rich, old white people. That demographic is traditionally associated with conservative politics, but it is increasingly synonymous - which some may argue is because of Joe Biden - with the Democratic Party. In Atlanta, where the population is predominantly black, liberal attendees who took to the streets on Saturday were mostly white, even though they make up just 38 percent of the city. At other protests across the country, including in Washington, DC, New York and Los Angeles, the diversity and inclusion crowd didn't appear to attract anyone outside their demographic. The vast majority of activists - some of whom were seen holding signs likening Trump to Adolf Hitler and ICE to the Gestapo - appeared to be white, privileged and elderly suburbanites. They included, predictably, Hollywood stars, including Pedro Pascal, 50, John Cusack, 59, Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, and Glenn Close, 78. The President's deportation policy, a core campaign promise by the Republican that is projected as cruel by the demonstrators, is popular, according to a survey. Forty-eight percent of Americans agree with Trump's border policy, his most popular behind working for peace in Gaza, according to exclusive Daily Mail polling from JL Partners... CNN commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon pointed out the glaring disparity between those in the streets protesting and the less affluent groups they claim to speak for. 'These protests were overwhelmingly white, they were overwhelmingly elderly people. White boomers have the right to have a mass therapy session about the fact that Donald Trump won. But to call it a No Kings protest, to act like he is a king, is so utterly preposterous,' the journalist said. 'This is a man who won the popular vote, he won every swing state, he is a person who is enacting the exact agenda he promised he was going to enact while he was campaigning, and so what they are actually protesting is the absolute perfection of American democracy.' One commentator, Reggie Brun, told his followers on X: 'No kings rally was all old white people'... On the left-leaning The Rest is Politics podcast, Katty Kay told viewers: 'It looked like a whole load of grannies carrying NPR bags ... It really did not look like a bunch of Antifa communists to me.' Her co-host Anthony Scaramucci replied: 'When I was a kid, they used to have on the soap operas, when I was home with a sore throat - or at least faking a sore throat -used to have a vitamin called Geritol. 'This was for geriatrics. I felt like that was sponsored by the No Kings Rally, sponsored by Geritol. You know, I mean, guys, you gotta get some younger people out there.' Lindell TV anchor, Allison Steinberg, said: 'The funny thing is the protests didn't seem too diverse, in fact, they appeared to be primarily comprised of old, white liberals. You know, the old hippie crowd who never grew up.'... Pavlich said it was the same demographic who attended the Women's March after Trump was first inaugurated in 2017, the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020, and outside federal agencies during the DOGE cuts earlier this year. 'They just show up when they feel they have something to say, even if it's counterintuitive to what they've been saying before,' said Pavlich. Turning Point USA's Savanah Hernandez agreed but argued the group was split into two factions, the older liberal boomer crowd, and more radical left-wing agitators who seek to incite violence. 'There were two different factions of protesters: one faction who had no idea why they were there, no idea why they were protesting, they were simply programmed by CNN or whatever liberal mainstream media they've been listening to,' Hernandez said. 'You had the other faction of protesters who were there to call for political violence against their opposition, so I read signs reading: "All Nazis go to hell," and of course it was MAGA supporters and it was ICE that were depicted as said Nazis.'"
Chuck Schumer on X - "Today’s No Kings rallies are an affirmation of what America is all about. We are a democracy. We have no kings, despite the fact that Trump has even said he wants to become one."
Will Ricciardella on X - "If we’re really a democracy, why do blue states obstruct immigration laws that were top of mind at the ballot box last fall? Congress passed them. The executive enforces them. Now neo-confederates call democracy “fascism” when it doesn’t go their way. Help me square that circle."
Gad Saad on X - "Have you noticed how all of the hysteria around @realDonaldTrump since the #NoKings idiocy is associated with cosmetic/peripheral issues? His trolling is apparently "non-presidential." @PressSec 's responses are "mean." @JDVance is "unbecoming" of a VP. It's exactly what I explained in The Parasitic Mind. The Progressive Invertebrate Castrati class are all about cosmetic appearances. If you are a man who speaks with a progressive lisp and you cross your legs like a woman, this makes you presidential. If you are a "mean troll" like President Trump, you are "unfit" to be president. NEVER are substantive issues tackled. President Trump is an existential aesthetic injury to the Anointed Ones (hat tip to Thomas Sowell for that term). This is the root cause of TDS. If he can be president for two terms, it invalidates their entire identities curated over decades of castrated uselessness."

Trump is saving Europe from itself - "maybe Trump is doing us a favour by shocking us out of our slumber. In truth, Europe has been coasting gently to disaster ever since Francis Fukuyama declared the “end of history” at the culmination of the Cold War. This marked the rise of what Simon Sebag Montefiore has called the “comfort democracies”. With conflict and its attendant hardships seen as behind us, the psychological stage was set for liberal flows of capital and migrants, the neglect of defence, the growth of welfarism and the rise of what I think of as the “centrist fundamentalist” elites. This was – or rather, it still is, though perhaps not for much longer – a class of liberal, university-educated urbanites who placed their faith in soft power, permissive migration policies, free trade, multilateral cooperation, supranational organisations, international law, universal values and ethics-based foreign policy. With their second homes and ski holidays, they derided anybody who expressed the old values, such as love of one’s country, traditions, flag, history, faith and people, branding them outdated at best and fascist at worst. Remember the Brexit debate? Have you seen their disparagement of Israelis, who proudly express their peoplehood? In their profound intolerance, the “centrists” can only be described as “fundamentalists”, whatever the colour of their rosettes. As Russia was welcomed into the G8 – “a very strong message of support for President Putin and his reforms”, as Tony Blair described it in 2002 – and China was disastrously admitted into the World Trade Organisation, European politicians won elections by diverting their defence budgets to benefits. Before long, as Angela Merkel famously observed, the Continent, which was home to 7 per cent of the global population, accounted for half of the world’s welfare expenditure. From Blair onwards, Britain followed suit, with vast sums wasted on the inefficient NHS, parents receiving free nursery places and pensioners – who turn out to vote – bought off with triple-locked pensions, winter fuel payments and free television licences. The pursuit of net zero, the most costly vanity project in modern history, dragged heavily on our economy while China and India fired up their coal plants. As the pencils of American voters hovered over “Donald Trump”, Europe was in a zombie state, blissfully unaware of how it was plodding inexorably towards the cliff-edge. National debt hovered around 100 per cent of gross domestic product, while Covid accelerated our inactivity rate. In Britain, “economically inactive” rates can be over 60 per cent in parts of the north, while one in ten children grows up in a household with no working adults and a quarter of working-age people are registered as “disabled”. Last year, we spent £65 billion on incapacity and disability payments alone, outstripping our spending on defence by around £4 billion. Consider the areas of our national life that Trump has most violently disrupted: he has been kicking at every pillar of centrist fundamentalism. Take Nato. In 2015, the year before the Donald was first elected, the average European spending on Nato was 1.44 per cent, well below the 2 per cent agreed at the Wales Summit in 2014. Fast-forward to today and that target has been met, with an agreement made at The Hague this year to raise it to 5 per cent by 2035. The war in Ukraine has played a role, of course; but would we be acting the same way if the United States was still picking up the tab? Our behaviour towards defence speaks volumes of our sense of self and our place in the world. So does our attitude towards minorities; the way in which Trump’s former lieutenant, Elon Musk, forced the scandal of the predominantly-Pakistani child sex rings to a crisis pressured Britain to rethink its soggy tolerance towards criminality amongst Muslims and our failure to insist upon our values. Free speech is another example. When Trump sent a White House delegation to support Rose Docherty, a 75-year-old anti-abortion campaigner, in 2024, he was sending Britain a message about the folly of disparaging the morality of our old Christian faith. If he sues the BBC for up to $5 billion, he is picking at the mask of professionalism that behind lurks a sneer of corrosive, progressive ideology. And by supporting Nigel Farage, he is shaming our elites for their habitual disdain of our flag. Obnoxious, disruptive and – in the case of Ukraine – downright depraved he may be, but without Trump in the White House, our eternal Sunday would be extending towards an even uglier and more catastrophic end."

Progressive governance has generally been a disaster when implemented -- rampant crime, overregulation leading to economic paralysis, demand subsidies that raised inflation, disorderly uncontrolled quasi-legal immigration that everyone hated. If progressives want to build a durable movement instead of relying on a series of increasingly desperate backlashes to increasingly horrific rightist administrations, they need to address and fix the real failures of progressive governance."
